In his ninth year at the helm and the 70th season of Judge Football, Coach John Colosimo nearly took his team to a most prestigious accomplishment – a state title in the 4-A ranks, where Judge had moved at the start of the year. Playing in a region that included Jordan, Murray, Granite and Tooele, Judge posted an 11-0-1 record, a 6-6 tie with Jordan spoiling the perfect regular season.

Mike Gallegos made a diving catch in the end zone to secure the victory for Judge, which tied the game with 40 seconds left on a pass from Sean Clark to Gallegos.
